Hi, hello, welcome, good day. Okay. There's gonna be a lot of new words in amongst this section of the site. You know this, I know this, it's just Gonna Happen. And you dear reader, probably want to know how those words should be said outloud, with your mouth. Well. I make no promises about the efficacy of this guide, but it does exist, so. Good luck?
A few notes: in general, I've used the default American English pronunciation for each letter, to make notation easier. In some specific cases, I've pulled sounds from languages that I like, like the Dutch "g" or the French "r" (they're the same sound for different letters and I Will fight you on that). For the vowels, there is a select and limited number of vowels that do Not combine; you cannot have "ai" next to "u". I will notate some of the sounds as multiple letters (ai, sthl) but in the Infernal language these are considered to be one sound and therefore one letter.
Also. You know how there's like, an order to the alphabet? I don't have that yet. The order here is esentially random
